Volks,

(3rd post attempt)

After much delay, I've decided not to install the roller rockers I acquired last October, courtesy of Robert Lilley who did a fine job of pulling together a volume discount buy of upgrade chips, rockers and platinum plugs. The chip upgrade worked fine for me, and I keep deferring the rockers and plugs. Frankly my Vanagon runs great right now, and I'm happy to keep it stock until I go for a Tiico, hopefully many years ahead :)

SO: The total original purchase cost to me of the rockers, chrome moly pushrods, and the platinum plugs was $379 to Robert. I'll be happy to sell the goods as a package for $300.

Remember, Robert recommends having the performance chip installed when you use these rockers. Also, you'll have to purchase a set of replacement valve covers. Robert's installation instructions for the rockers are viewable at: http://www.slip.net/~chrisr/rocker_install/ and additional pictures of the valve covers are at: http://www.slip.net/~chrisr/rocker_install/valve/installed_valve_cover_right _side.jpg http://www.slip.net/~chrisr/rocker_install/valve/installed_valve_cover_right _side2.jpg http://www.slip.net/~chrisr/rocker_install/valve/oldvalve.jpg Robert's original email regarding the valve covers appears below.

Thanks,
